Testing Transformation

Significant cost reduction through transformation of your testing

The currently used test approach in IT transformation projects results in high costs, reduced test coverage and high maintenance. Therefore, with our solution, we help to transform your testing approach which lowers IT testing costs significantly. By optimising the approach of clients, we have reduced the test costs by 50%.

Test approach in IT projects

Traditional approach

The traditional approach to perform testing manually in the last test stages, leads to high testing and defect fixing costs, with a lack of accuracy and coverage.

Our solution for your IT projects

With our solution, your test approach is realigned with focus on early testing, automation, DevOps and, if desirable, nearshoring.


Our sample business case is an indication to get a cost overview

The sample business case is based on daily rates and defect fixing costs, which we have evaluated from transformed IT projects. The detailed costs for your organisation can be evaluated in the Insight Assessment. The two big savings areas are the test cases by stages and the defect resolution costs, which are visualised below.

Testing costs

With an optimised test approach a cost reduction of 47.4% has been realised for our selected client in the test case & test execution area.
